After the tragic death of his partner, Police Detective Reed Mattox retreats into isolation, transferring to the K-9 unit, moving to a remote farmhouse, and working the graveyard shift. His goal is simple: stay invisible.
But Reed’s quiet routine shatters when a string of grisly murders rocks The Bottoms, a poverty-stricken part of Columbus. Bodies are turning up, and with the precinct stretched thin, Reed and his new partner—a keen-eyed Belgian Malinois—are assigned to track down the serial killer.
The hunt takes Reed across the city and deep into the past, uncovering secrets that some powerful people would kill to keep buried. Operating far outside his comfort zone, Reed must face his fears and his demons before the killer claims another victim.
